SUMMARY Chapter ten takes place many years after the previous action on Animal Farm. Many of the animals that we have come to know have deceased. Even Mr. Jones has passed away. There is an entirely new generation of animals on the farm, most of which have no recollection of the rebellion many years ago. It has since turned into a dim tradition, only passed on by ones who vaguely remember.The farm itself was much more prosperous, and much bigger than before. Two fields had been bought from Mr. Pilkington to increase the size of the farm. In addition, the windmill has been build for the third time, with a second in the works. The farm was making money, with all of it going to the pigs and dogs of course. It has gotten to the point that the older animals that were still living could not even remember if the living conditions had worsened or improved since the rebellion. In spite of it all they still remanined proud at the fact they were the only farm operated solely by Animals. Though this remains to be true, big changes have been made to the farm. The pigs began walking on two legs, along with the sheeps chant changing from "four legs good, two legs bad" to "four legs good, two legs better". This, along with the drinking of alchohol, wearing clothes, and installing a telepone marks the full transtion of the animals taking on human customs to it's entirety.
Pigs in school- The younger generation that will grow up directly under Stalins ways.
3 new horses- Represents the younger,unintelligent, and naiive working class that do as they're told without any question.
The two Aces of Spades: The card that both Pilkington and Napoleon play at the same time represents the conflict between the U.S.S.R. and Britain after WW2 had ended.
The erasing of all seven comandments to be replaced by this lone statement truely signifies the seperation of the pigs from the rest of the animals.
QUOTES;)
1. p.88 "But the Luxeries of which Snowball had once taught the animals to dream were no longer talked about" Stalin stole all of Trosky's plans and, instead of using them for the good of the people, he executed them to directly benefit himself.
2. p. 89 "But still, niether pigs nor dogs produced any food by thier own labour; and there were very many of them, and thier appeites were always good."
Something very simlilar was said by Old Major in the beginning of the book about humans. (page 6) Now, at the end of the book this is being said about other animals. This gives the reading a full circle effect. Having gone from being under Jones and resenting him, to the pigs taking over and adopting his vices.
3. p.89 "Only old Benjamin professed to remember every detail of his long life and to know things had never been, nor never could be much better or much worse. Hunger, hardship, and dissapointment being, so he said, the unalterable law of life."
Benjamin represents the Older working class who has no interest or care in any matter, for he is still working for someone. In his eyes, it is all the same.
4. p. 97 "No question now, what had happened to the faces of the pigs."
The pigs have now become everything they were warned not to be. Just as when Stalin has taken over and has shown no more respect for his people than Czar Nicholas did.
The meeting with Pilkington and other farmers represents the USSR and other countries like England and America at the Yalta Conference.The meeting was intended mainly to discuss the re-establishment of the nations of war-torn Europe. Just like how napoelon shows the farmers his etablishment and gives them and example of how farms should be run.
